Wanna Salsa?

Click to bid

Okay, I had to think up a clever title although I'm not sure tomatillos are ingredients in salsa. I'm also a huge Dancing With the Stars fan and Salsa, of course, is a Latin dance. I was hoping Mya and Dmitri would win but Donny Osmond took the mirror ball trophy last night! He was really good and his partner Kym Johnson is adorable and has never won before, but Mya really knows how to Salsa! 

Hot Sauce

SOLD

Finally, I've done my Girl's Just Wanna Paint Challenge subject, Hot Sauce. It took me forever to compose my set up and then I wiped the first version of this and started over. Don came over to help me put up some shelves and I kind of pooped out after that, but when he left, I got my second wind and finished it. This one is for sale this weekend along with many 'oldies but goodies', for my usual Open Studios bargain prices.

Lucky Seven

I'm busy packing my paints and art gear, as we leave early early Saturday AM for Naples. Hope it doesn't snow until we're well on our way. After cleaning out the fridge of props that we'll never eat, I painted this. little 4x4. Email me at wendl15@verizon.net to purchase this for $50 with free shipping.

I'm a Pepper, You're a Pepper.... 6x8

This lesson was about keeping the darks vibrant and not beginning the painting in too high a key, a foible of mine. If you start too light you can't make the highlights 'pop'. I also worked my edges more than usual to get a more vibrant feeling. Sorry about the glare but I really wanted to post it tonight rather than wait for daylight to shoot it again.

Pepper Trio Miniature

SOLD
Yup, this is a repeat. It's a 2.5 x 3.5 copy of a larger work I did previously. Sometimes it's good to do a repeat and... I do have a large pepper stash to work with. This needs get a tweak on the stems now that I see it up here.

Five Little Peppers 5x5

I never read the story but I remember the title of the book Five Little Peppers and How They Grew . You can probably get it from your local library. I was always a reader but the computer and painting have largely taken its place. I like books on cd but find that my mind wanders and I have to rewind unless of course it's a fascinating book like Into Thin Air, which was the first book on tape I listened to. It was 9 hours long and I did the whole thing in one day.
